[gentoo-user] Nvidia hangs Xorg

[Jonatan Antoni <jantoni@web.de>]

Hy there,

I'm playing around with the nvidia kernel-modules and glx-drivers for x11 for a while.
First all works fine, but using mozilla-firefox crashes the x-server after a while. Let
me give you an example: Running firefox works, going to google as well, but going to
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors and click the link "4.1 Moving focus between screens"
hangs the display. I can still move around the mouse-cursor, but everything else is locked.

Logging in to my system remotely by ssh, I can find the X-proccess taking nearly 100 percent
of cpu-time. By restarting xdm the X-system comes back correctly.

Now I'm back using the default nv-driver of the xorg-project, because that's the only way of sending
this email without x11 hangs. In the future I want to use the dual-head function of my geforce fx5200
for a video-beamer. Is there another way without using the original nvidia drivers or has somebody
a hint about that nasty error?

thx,
jonatan
